Question
which structures are found in each cell type? complete the table. prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells nucleus dna ribosomes rough endoplasmic reticulum save answer
Brief Explanations
- Nucleus: Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus; eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that houses their DNA.
- DNA: Both prokaryotic (in the nucleoid region) and eukaryotic (in the nucleus) cells contain DNA as their genetic material.
- Ribosomes: Both cell types have ribosomes for protein synthesis. In prokaryotes, they are free - floating; in eukaryotes, they can be free or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum: This is a membrane - bound organelle. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes attached) involved in protein synthesis and transport.
